Fiberglass Composite Restores Corroded Gas Line
Corrosion on a 36-inch fuel gas pipeline
Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure 500 psi (34.47 bar)
Design Temperature 150°F (65.5°C)
Operating Pressure 435 psi (29.9 bar)
Max. Flow Rate 608 mmscf/d
36-inch (914.4-mm) diameter line carrying fuel gas
Corrosion resulted in diminished wall thickness
26.25 ft (8 m) with 40-70% metal loss, 925 ft (160 m) with <40% metal loss
No hot work
No interruption to operations
A 36-inch (914.4-mm) gas pipeline feeding into a large, independent water and power production (IWPP) plant was damaged by external corrosion over a length of 160 m (525 ft). The pipeline, which was operating at 450 psi, was above a canal crossing. Metal loss was ranging from 40% to 70%. The pipeline was vital to the IWPP and had to remain in operation while the repair was made.
The IWPP owner has worked with CSNRI composite systems for more than 5 years and has seen the benefits of the company's expert engineering and superior products and has had good results with installations carried out by experienced local distributors. Multiple repairs over this time period have proven the quality and value of the repairs in terms of performance and lower maintenance costs.
CSNRI experts assessed the damage to the pipeline and developed a repair using Thermo-Wrap® Inspectable, a custom engineered repair system that uses a fiberglass, composite-reinforced coating to deliver high strength characteristics. Its thick, non-crimped, bi-axial glass fiber architecture and resin combine to deliver a reliable repair with only a few layers. This proprietary repair system is designed to work in high temperatures and is suitable for process piping and chemical processing lines.
The installation team exams the damaged fuel line.
A close-up of the corroded line before it is prepared for the composite repair.
Scaffolding was erected to afford access to the installers who carried out the repair to the gas pipeline, and work got underway.
The first step of the installation process was to prepare the surface of the pipeline to improve adhesion of the composite wrap to the metal surface. Because of the possibility that sparks from power tools and abrasive blasting could lead to an explosion, technicians used hand tools to prepare the surface of the pipe to achieve an St3 surface cleanliness, removing rust, coating, and other contaminants to produce a thoroughly prepared surface prior to the application of the composite system.
The surface of the damaged line is cleaned and roughened before the composite installation begins.
Technicians fill in pitting and uneven surfaces with Thermo Fill HT before wrapping the line with the composite cloth.
Thermo-Poxy is used as primer on the prepared surface before applying the saturated fiberglass to provide additional adhesion.
The Thermo-wrap™ Inspectable fiberglass cloth is applied and awaiting the compression layer.
Once the surface of the pipe was prepared, a team of technicians provided by a local contractor filled in pitting and uneven surfaces with Thermo Fill HT before wrapping the line with the fiberglass cloth saturated with Thermo-poxy resin.
Engineering calculations determined two layers of composite over most of the pipeline and 10 layers over the Girth-weld joints that were the most severely corroded. Installers wrapped the finished repair with blue compression film to compress the system until the composite cured.
The CSNRI composite repair solution allowed the IWPP to address the corrosion issues on the gas pipeline without shutting down the facility or introducing additional hazards to the site. The line was rapidly restored to safety with a repair that also will minimize future damage.
The finished repair is compressed with blue film to improve adhesion until the composite is cured.
The compression film is removed after the repair passes the hardness test and the the repaired line can now safely operate at 500 psi (34.47 bar) MAOP.

Virtual Collaboration at SUNY Potsdam's Crane School of Music Results in COVID-19-Themed Online World Premiere, Set for Sunday
Pandemic's New Reality Inspires Art Song in World Premiere of 'A Village Funeral in the Time of COVID-19,' Featuring Artists with Crane School of Music Ties
A pandemic that has altered how we learn, think and conduct ourselves also continues to drive new innovation, online collaboration and alternate modes of expression at SUNY Potsdam's Crane School of Music.
Sunday, Sept. 20 marks the world virtual premiere of a new collaboration between two current Crane faculty and a past visiting director of opera at the School. "A Village Funeral in the Time of COVID-19" is Crane Professor of Composition Dr. Gregory Wanamaker's setting of a beautiful and heart-wrenching poem by Garth Bardsley, who was visiting director of opera at Crane in 2008-09. A narrative monologue, the poem addresses the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic upon mortality and emotional gatherings, as well as the awkward reality of social distancing.
"The idea of a virtual premiere is apropos for 'A Village Funeral,' simply because this medium has become the performance space of most performing musicians during these difficult times," said Wanamaker. "It is a sad reality that composers and performers alike have to reinvent themselves while performance spaces are closed."
The world web premiere of "A Village Funeral in the time of COVID-19" will take place on Sunday, Sept. 20, at 2:15 p.m., on YouTube, at the following link: https://youtu.be/CCfnn5WU4YI. Wanamaker and Bardsley will be virtually "present" to respond in the live chat and answer any questions about the work.
The art song for tenor and piano, premiering on YouTube, will feature the voice of Crane Professor Donald George and is populated with his photographs, taken in Germany. Garth and Wanamaker collaborated remotely through FaceTime and email, then sent the work to George, who did the recording in Percha, Germany. As they discussed the possibility of performance venues, George suggested that he would photograph churchyards, cemeteries, flora and fauna in the region, which became the basis of a stirring video setting created by his daughter, Meggie George, featuring the photographs and Bardsley's words.
"Garth makes a strong comparison with the mandatory six feet of distance between people as a 'corpse-length space between,'" Wanamaker said. "His words are filled with such imagery and are fraught with surprising and emotionally-charged observations of an observer at a funeral in real time."
While the collaboration is the first between George and Wanamaker, Bardsley and Wanamaker have collaborated on several works, including "Laude!," which was featured on the 2016 Crane Candlelight Concert, and "Adirondack Songs" for Crane Youth Music's 2014 season. The latter was recorded by the Crane Chorus and Crane Wind Ensemble under the direction of Dr. Brian Doyle, Crane professor and director of bands, for Mark Records.

Thorn Electronic Industries
Articles / April 19, 2015 June 5, 2019
If like me you're the wrong end of 50, you may recall many household electrical goodies showing the brand Ferguson, HMV, Marconi, Ultra etc.
It all started with Joules Thorn who was a salesman for the Austrian Oslo company, selling gas mantles. Those little furry things that vanished when you poked them. The company, like the product, went pop and a chap called Alfred Deutsch, who made lightbulbs, persuaded Joules to start a light bulb business. The Electric Lamp Service Company was born in 1928.
After a while, they acquired a company, Atlas lamps. Atlas made bulbs for projectors and so on. By 1936, the firm had expanded massively and were probably the biggest manufacturer of light bulbs, fittings and associated parts in Europe. Some of the lighting equipment was beautiful and reflected. Art Nouveau styles at the time. By now the company was renamed Thorn Lighting.
Having cash in the bank, Thorn started to diversify and acquired Ferguson Radio Corporation. This was a US-Canadian company making well built rather fancy looking (Big flash US style) radios in the UK. Ferguson sets of the '30s were relatively expensive, mainly due to the "Valve tax" the government placed on each radio at the time. This was calculated on the number of valves a set had. Being US based, they stuffed upwards of 8 or more in a set. Valve makers; Mullard, GEC, Osram etc, started developing valves that had 2-3 separate assemblies in one glass bulb, doing the job of 3 valves. Clever way round the tax ah?
Ferguson became a household name for TVs, budget radios, big radiograms and so on. Sets were normally quite fancy and appealed to those living on the East side of big towns and cities. In '60 Thorn bought Ultra Radio & Television. This company had been making TV and radio sets since before the war and had spread out into all kinds of other electronic equipment.
By now, Thorn group was probably responsible for 40% of the radio and TV sales in the UK. Thorn TV sets were reliable and rental companies favoured them as a result. In the late 60s, Thorn had developed the first UK fully transistorised colour TV, the 2000 chassis. This set the benchmark for other set makers such as GEC, Bush etc. who were still using rather unreliable valve designs that were partial to the odd internal bonfire. The 2000 chassis was very complex and I recall fixing a few of these. The service manual suggested an engineer having a treble Teachers before taking the back off. The set gave a good picture and behaved itself.
Thorn acquired the well know Radio Rentals company. This company at it's peak, had upwards of 500 shops around the UK, had in excess of 2 million customers and thousands of well trained engineers and support staff. With the availability of colour TV transmissions in the late '60s the demand for TVs was massive. Great outlet for Thorn's TV manufacturing. Others companies snapped up were the well known DER and Rumbelows group.
In the '70s, less that 2% of households had a video recorder. Radio Rentals saw an opportunity to add this product to their portfolio. They settled on a VHS machine made by JVC. Thorn branded it under the Baird name, a company also purchased years previously. It was a solid machine and reliable and certainly helped VHS standard become the more dominant system, with pre recorded tapes being made widely available. Although, other systems such as Betamax and Philips 2000, were technically superior.
Thorn went on buying companies such as Kidde (fire alarms), Mazda (lightbulbs), Tricity (electric cooker company) and the HMV record group and even Kenwood (food mixers). Thorn went through many changes and as a result of the increase in reliability of TV sets and VCRs, purchase of equipment was more attractive than renting. As a result, the rental parts of the business were sold off to smaller household chains and holding companies. There we go. A huge company started by a gas mantle door to door salesman.
Here's a food mixer joke; I went to a kitchen store and it took ages to get served. I shouted "can someone sell me a food mixer??" A voice from behind the counter said "Kenwood?" I shouted "yes he will do"…. I'm wasted in this job.

The Jug: A small dog with a big dog personality
Post author:Elizabeth Kemmery
Post category:Breed Information / Puppy Parenting
I was that kid growing up—the one who melted over every dog I passed, begging my parents to let me get a puppy, only to end up with another goldfish. Once, I convinced them to buy me a hermit crab at the beach, but that was as adventurous as my parents got with pets.
Since I couldn't get my own, I spoiled my neighbor's dog. I think the medium-sized lab mix spent more time in my parents' yard than in its own.
Fast forward to adulthood. I met my husband when I was a freshman in college. Among other good qualities, he was a dog lover. His childhood pup was a German Shepherd mix, and later, his parents got a Collie.
We bought our first house three weeks after we got married. Finally—my house, my space, my rules. Time for my first dog.
My husband and I loved big dogs—Shepherds, Labradors, Rottweilers, Collies. These breeds were energetic, loveable, and loyal. They were big enough that you could tussle with them but well-behaved enough to listen when it was time to stop.
Our new house was just outside Philadelphia (a very dog-friendly city!) in a small twin home with virtually no yard. So, we had to think smaller.
I poured over websites, researching different breeds and mixes. How small is too small? How big is too big? What health concerns did each breed face? Were they good with kids? What about other dogs? How much did they shed? Could they run with me?
Choosing a dog, especially my very first one, seemed like an overwhelming task at times. But then, without trying, I found her. Six months after we moved into our new home, I discovered the perfect pup. I fell for a teeny, clumsy, energetic ball of fur known as a Jug.
I didn't anticipate getting a Pug and Jack Russell mix. We named her Kona, both for her coffee coloring and our recent Hawaiian honeymoon. She was so small and light the day we brought her home that when I placed the four-month-old pup on a sofa pillow, she toppled right off, not even making a dent in the cushion.
We welcomed Kona into our family in 2007, right as the popularity of the Jug mix was on the rise. It's no wonder! These dogs are adorable with have beautiful coloring and a great demeanor. Kona is caramel in color, with black ears and a black snout. Fortunately, her face is longer like a Jack Russell, which means she doesn't have the breathing issues most Pugs face. She has a curly tail, as most Jugs do, and a goofy underbite, which gives her a lot of personality.
Kona was an amazing choice for me as a first-time dog owner. Jugs embody the best of both breeds—they are happy, energetic, and loyal like a Jack Russell as well as playful, mischievous, and smart like a Pug. We always said Kona was smart enough to be extra stubborn.
As Kona gained confidence in her new home, we quickly learned just how energetic she could be. She ran, and ran, and ran, and ran more. I thought for sure she would wear a figure eight into our downstairs carpet. On more than one occasion, she slipped through her collar when we took a walk and enjoyed a rousing game of Catch Me If You Can with the neighborhood kids. She would be nearly an arm's length away, wait for you to reach, then take off again. She loved every second of it and left us exhausted.
When visiting my aunt's house once, Kona taunted my aunt's three older West Highland Terriers by outpacing them in their backyard. It didn't take long for my aunt's dogs to give up, retreating in the shade under the deck. Obviously enjoying her win, Kona continued to run and quickly veered right. Unbeknownst to Kona, she headed straight for my aunt's inground pool, and, almost like an old Tom and Jerry cartoon, hovered over the water for a second before plunging in.
I thought for sure I'd be in the pool next—this was Kona's first experience with water outside of a bath, and I didn't know if she could swim! Thankfully, she popped up and paddled over to the side. Needless to say, she hasn't wanted to swim since then.
Kona's Jack Russell side was very evident on our walks. She always was very social, curious, and fast. She would sense a squirrel or bird from a mile away and practically jerk the leash from our hands. When she was older, my husband witnessed her chase and pounce on a baby groundhog. He said she was equally proud and confused, having no idea what to do with it next. She hesitated long enough, though, that the groundhog squirmed free and dashed into the woods.
We had Kona for five years before we had our first child. Watching Kona with our son was amazing. She never really cuddled with our kids but was tolerant, protective, and playful. When our son started crying in the crib, she immediately went to his side, jumped onto her hind legs, and peered into the crib until we came over.
The two of them always were together. If my son was on my lap, so was Kona. If I was rocking him to sleep, she was on my feet on the ottoman. We walked together, slept together, and played together.
We have three very active boys now, and they all interact slightly differently with Kona. She's eleven now, and not nearly as energetic, but, when we're all outside kicking a soccer ball or tossing a Frisbee, she is in the middle of the action with her puppy energy in full swing. (The only downside, as is common with this crossbreed, is as Kona has aged, her hip can pop out of place when she runs too much.)
My youngest absolutely loves Kona. When he first started cooing, he actually had a different tone when "talking" to the dog. He's almost two, now. "Puppy" was one of his first words, and Kona is his best friend. Kona isn't overly affectionate with my toddler, but she is incredibly patient and responsive to him.
Kona is the dog my husband and I never knew we always wanted. She's perfect. At just under 20 pounds, she's compact in size but sturdy enough to play hard. She is wicked smart, silly, stubborn, and playful. She's loyal and protective. She's quirky and fun. She fits a big personality in that little body.
We thought we wanted a big dog, but we found all we wanted in a Jug. And, we wouldn't change it for the world.

Greetings to all. Happy 2012! I hope everyone had a fine holiday and that you're all ready for what we hope will be an exciting 2012.
Thanks for the posts regarding my blogged demise. As I write this I am very much alive but I died online December 19th, 2011 and it was a wild 60 minutes. Fortunately my family was all together when the calls came in and we quickly dispelled the rumors. Besides all the well wishes 'dying' is soooo overrated. We all have so much to live for so make the best of each day.
In 2012, I look forward to the Soul Kitchen helping those who in these difficult financial times need help from their neighbors. Remember, a helping hand up is not a hand out. Empowering your neighbor is not entitling them. You'd be surprised how many people today are either in need or on the verge of economic assistance. WE have the power to make a difference. Find something or someone that moves you... you can make a difference and I promise it will make you and that neighbor in need feel something magical. Don't fall into the negative. Don't assume the press or those in the media know better or know more. Follow YOU. Partisanship, is just ignorance in disguise.
Ok, enough of my thoughts. It's time to go to work. I'll fill you in on any one off shows like Bamboozle in Asbury Park as the dates come together. Until then root for your favorite team, who ever that may be and look out for your favorite band, we know who that should be.

Chelsea & Man Utd Blow As Rodgers Says He'll Force Sterling To See-Out His Contract
By Fraser Crawford on May 22, 2015
As the opening of the summer transfer window approaches, managers are working hard identifying targets and lining-up potential deals so we'll bring you all the news and gossip. Today, Brendan Rodgers has his say on Raheem Sterling….
Brendan Rodgers has ruled out selling Chelsea and Manchester United target Raheem Sterling this summer after saying he expects the attacker to honour the final two years of his Liverpool contract.
Sterling's future has been the subject of much debate over the past few months after he rejected a £100,000-a-week contract offer from Liverpool earlier this year, with reports claiming that the attacker has made it clear to Rodgers he wants to leave this summer.
The 20-year-old's agent Aidy Ward hit the headlines yesterday after being quoted in the Evening Standard as saying that Sterling has no intention of signing a new deal at Anfield even if he was offered £900,000-a-week.
"I don't care about the PR of the club and the club situation. I don't care." Ward said
"He is definitely not signing. He's not signing for £700, £800, £900 thousand a week. He is not signing.
"My job is to make sure I do the best with them (my clients). If people say I am bad at my job, or they are badly advised it does not matter."
"Carragher is a knob. Everybody knows it. Any of the criticism from current pundits or ex-Liverpool players – none of them things matter to me. It is not relevant."
"I am not worried. Worried is making a decision not knowing what is going to happen. Every premier league club will make a bid for him."
Liverpool subsequently cancelled talks with the player and his representatives – which were due to take place today – and the uncertainty over his future has led to speculation linking him with a whole host of top European clubs.
Reports earlier this week suggested that Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was ready to cash-in on Juan Cuadrado and Oscar to fund a move for the England international, while the Telegraph claimed on Thursday that Manchester United have already contacted Liverpool to register their interest.
However, it appears any potential move to Stamford Bridge or Old Trafford this summer is now off the table as Brendan Rodgers has told reporters at his press conference this morning that he expects Sterling to honour the final two years of his current Liverpool deal and hinted that the owners will refuse to sell.
The Reds boss also claims that Sterling isn't unhappy at the club and insists his relationship with the player has not been affected by the speculation over his future.
Rodgers told reporters today:
'It's very difficult to comment on what other people speak about. We have always been clear. It will always be dealt with internally and we look to do thing privately. The concentration for myself is to continue to improve Raheem as a footballer.
'Whether there are talks or no talks, he has two years left and I expect him to see that two years through and continue to behave as immaculately as he has done. It is quite simple.
'I don't see Raheem being unhappy. His representative made it very clear he wanted to speak at the end of the season. I'm sure talks will take place over the summer.'
'If he is fit, he will be available for selection. My relationship has not been affected. We have given Raheem an opportunity to play for one of the greatest clubs in the world. We want to resolve the situation but it does not change my approach to him. He is a good kid who has matured over the last few years.
'If he starts or doesn't start, he will get the support from the fans. What he said and didn't say will remain private. Whatever conversation I have had with a player will remain private. I am not going to sit here and reveal what went on.
'The ownership have shown their strength in their time here. They have done an incredible job to stabilise the club. In this situation, they will show that strength and power to the club. I talk regularly with the players.
'The simple fact is Raheem has two years left on his contract.'
So Liverpool are publicly insisting they have no intention of selling Sterling this summer and the clubs owners have shown in the past they are prepared to force a player to stay at the club against his will.
Liverpool famously refused to sell Luis Suarez to Arsenal in 2013, despite the player going public with his desire to leave, and it looks as though they are prepared to take a similar stance with Sterling.

However, I'm sure the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United, to name a few, will still try their luck and test Liverpool's resolve with big-money offers, so it's going to be interesting to see how this all plays out.

By this fall, Apple and Microsoft will have followed in the footsteps of Google to automatically update apps on their mobile and desktop platforms, another step in the trend to take security out of users' hands.
"This is one of the best things we've seen in security in the last decade," argued Andrew Storms, senior director of development and operations at San Francisco-based CloudPassage. "Historically, we've always relied on the end user to update, and praying that they do so. Auto-updating means that the moment [a new version] is released, the majority has the most secure code available installed."
Google's Android and Chrome OS -- the latter based on the Chrome browser -- automatically update installed apps, silently and in the background, without bothering the user.
Both Apple and Microsoft will mimic Google later this year, when the former ships OS X Mavericks for the Mac and iOS 7 for the iPhone and iPad. Microsoft, too, has committed to app auto-updates, a feature that will debut in Windows 8.1 this fall.
On Windows and OS X, the new approach to app updating applies to just parts of their software ecosystems.
Only Windows Store apps -- those the company calls "Modern" but which many still dub "Metro" -- will auto-update. Older, traditional Windows apps, those that run on the old-school desktop -- will not.
OS X Mavericks is in the same boat: Only apps downloaded and installed through the Mac App Store will update hands-off. Software acquired through other channels -- downloads direct from the developer, for example -- will remain the user's responsibility.
Although legacy applications on Windows and OS X are out of the auto-update loop for now, many applications offer their own auto-updates. And third-party patch managers for enterprises and consumers -- an example of the latter for Windows is Secunia's Personal Software Inspector (PSI) -- are available to fill the gaps.
"The question becomes, how much more can be automated?" said Morten Stengaard, the CTO of Secunia. "Frankly, the more automation the better, because we cannot keep up with all the patches available."
This fall's roll-out of app auto-updating on Windows, OS X and iOS 7 is only the latest in a continuum of similar moves over the years to remove the weak link -- the user -- from the equation, Storms noted.
"What we're seeing is the operating system [makers] putting a stake in the ground, that moving forward, this is the best way to go," said Storms.
Operating systems like Android, Chrome OS, iOS, OS X and Windows have long offered either partial (as in the case of iOS and OS X) or complete (Android, Chrome OS, Windows) auto-updates to provide patches; the Chrome and Firefox browsers have gone to fully-silent updates; Microsoft has enforced auto-upgrades to its Internet Explorer (IE) browser; and the most popular plug-ins and add-ons, such as Adobe's Flash and Oracle's Java, have shifted to a more hands-free model.
Not everyone's enamored by auto-updating. At each point in the years-long trend some have bemoaned the loss of control, arguing that because they own the hardware, they should have the final say over what's dropped on their devices.
"I'd say that that is still a majority of users," said Stengaard. "Most still want to have control."
In most cases, including Windows 8.1 and OS X Mavericks, app auto-update, while switched on by default, can be disabled by the user.
Going forward, Stengaard expects to see a push, at least on Microsoft's part, to assume even more of the burden. "I'd be very surprised if, in three to five years, Microsoft doesn't take over complete responsibility for updating everything on the operating system, at least for consumers," Stengaard said.
"It's good that Microsoft is going in this direction, and certainly what most expect," he added.

fashion and style: Romantic Interior design of bedroom wedding decor.
Romantic Interior design of bedroom wedding decor.
intended for a successful art-deco gaze, I consider it is vital to stress two factors: the geometry, and optimism. The two are similar: dreamy essentials soften hard lines and statistical anchoring geometry of romance.
What does this mean in real life? Geometric features are more "masculine" aspect of the Art Deco: architectural inspirations, pattern of strong, vivid, repetitive shapes and lines, mirrors, chrome and black finishes. In contract, the romantic elements of feminine details like bright colors, gold, bronze, brushed, curves, textures, beads and flowers.
Medium pieces may alternatively represent the style in many ways. You could inspiration from the New York skyline, with the Art Deco building (think Empire State, Chrysler, Rockefeller Center) and architectural elements in your room dotted with vases integrate different take size with soft floral arrangements. Maintaining a strong tendency by geometric tablecloths or runners, or combinations of contrasting colors are additional resources for the perfusion subtle Art Deco.


The dynamics of the electronic to vibrational energy transfer process in CsCl crystals with CN- and F-center defect pairs is the primary system of interest. Experimentally, this system is studied with a laser and a spectrometer to obtain Raman spectra. Plans for the immediate future include the use of a femto-second pulsed laser system in order to obtain Time-Resolved Raman spectra. Dr. West is also involved in theoretical quantum mechanical interpretation of the experimental results.
Dr. West has always had an interest in research projects that can actively involve students in all aspects of the project. Some of the topics that students have worked on, or are on the list to choose from, include: orbital dynamics of a point mass in the plane of a massive thin ring, orbital dynamics of a point mass in a plane perpendicular to the plane of a massive thin ring, a new release mechanism for trebuchets, the effects of the variation of the force of gravity with altitude near the surface of the Earth on an ideal Atwood's machine, the distribution pattern of aimed shots from archers, least time radii for point-to-point motion of a simple pendulum, the dynamics of vortex rings (smoke rings, 20 cm in diameter), the dynamics of ArrowCopters (a fun toy), special relativity in rotating reference frames, two-dimensional dipole-dipole repulsion under the influence of an external electric field, Fresnel focusing of waves in water, and promising project that a student might suggest.

Most people hate meetings but they still waste hours upon hours of not only their time but colleagues time on them annually. I always like to work between Christmas and New Years because I get more done than I feel I typically do in a month. I realized this year that the reason for the much higher productivity is that I am not spending most of every day in meetings, often ones with questionable value. If you add the cost (wages) from my wasted time to that of all the other people who are not optimizing their time during meeting where they are not deriving or creating value, there is an opportunity to increase significantly your team or company's operational efficiency.
Delete all meetings once a year (easiest in January) and then only reschedule the ones you need and only with the people you need to attend. This is a strategy I wrote about in 2015, that I stole from a top-five game company, that company now is one of the two or three largest in the US.
Talk, don't meet. Sometimes a quick conversation can resolve items without needing a meeting.
Ensure everyone invited needs to be there. If someone is on there phone during the whole meeting, it is less that person's fault than the meeting organizer who brought in someone who was not needed.
Let people opt-out. If somebody says they do not want to attend a meeting, respect their wishes.
Have people arrive early. Everyone should be early for meetings so that they can stay on time. You and your colleagues should get to the meeting five minutes early so that people can settle and be ready at the start time. By starting late, you are wasting money having people just sit around.
Share an agenda with all attendees. Share an agenda for meetings a few days in advance and allow people to opt out if there is no business relevant to them being discussed. If you use Outlook or a similar organizer, best to put the agenda in the invite.
If you make these changes, you will be surprised at how liberated you feel. Meetings will take on improved importance, making them more interesting to you but also to your colleagues. Everyone will benefit from better meetings.
Improving efficiency from meetings can save your company money, significant savings can come from reducing the wages lost by people attending meetings that they do not contribute to and do not derive value.
Start with a clean slate, delete all meetings and only add ones you need, and invite the people who need to be there.
Reduce meetings to 25 minutes so you can start on time (and arrive on time for the next meeting) and share an agenda and timetable before the meeting.

Use approximately 100 grams of white Pettinice fondant, adding a very small dot of black Pettinice fondant and kneading well to mix into a grey tone.
If a different size topper is desired a smaller or larger amount of fondant can be used. A darker shade of grey can be achieved by adding more black, always start with a lesser amount because you can always add more into it.
Its very important to add Tylose powder to the fondant to ensure it dries hard, approximately 1/4 of tsp can be added.
Once you have finished kneading the colour and Tylose powder you will have lovely soft grey colour ready to use.
Divide your fondant into three parts.
Take the first part and create a tear shape which will be the body.
Insert either a food grade cocktail stick or raw pasta and a small amount of edible glue into the body. This will secure the head to the body.
Using your fingers "squish" some of the fondant out from the head to start creating a trunk shape.
Carefully shape it into the final trunk shape as pictured.
Shape the top of the head slightly as pictured.
Use edible glue to adhere the head to the body.
Use a spare lump of fondant that is wrapped in cling wrap to hold the trunk in place while it dries.
Use a ball tool to make two small indentations as pictured.
While the head and body are drying roll out the third part of fondant and cut out a circular shape.
Cut in half and soften edge with a ball tool to create the ears.
Use edible glue to adhere the ears to the head.
Using a smaller amount of remaining grey create a little curl of hair.
Adhere the hair to the top of the head.
Using the remaining fondant, roll out a long sausage to create the arm and legs.
Use your fingers to taper one end and flatten the other. Repeat to create both arms.
Adhere the arms to the body.
Create legs in the same way and adhere them to the body as pictured.
Shape the flat end part of the tail as pictured.
Create two very small eyes using a tiny amount of black Pettinice.
Paint on very fine little eye brows to add character, this can be done with an edible marker or a fine paint brush using black gel colour and clear alcohol.
Use edible glue to stick them into the holes created earlier.
Dot tiny white dots onto the eyes using white gel colour.

Guide on how to best buy soccer tickets online and offline such as Liverpool tickets, Chelsea tickets, Man Utd tickets, Arsenal tickets and more.
Buying tickets for Atletico Madrid matches is not easy. The Vicente Calderon stadium holds 55.000 spectators but just 10.000 are for members without seats and for the general public. If you are member without a seat you will have discounts for the matches (about 20% off the price but it depends on the match) and kids always have a 50% discount. There is no discount for the general public (non-members).
The maximum number of tickets that can be purchased per person (member or non-member) is 10.
Ticket prices for matches played by Atletico Madrid in the Vicente Calderon stadium are not always the same. Matches are divided into 4 different categories (A, B, C and D). The highest prices (category A) are for games such as the 'Derby' between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid whereas matches listed as D have the lowest prices. The prices vary depending on the zone of the stadium.
As stated, the amount of tickets available for general public and members without a seat is much less than the amount of seats taken by Atletico Madrid's members. However, the new system "Servicio de Cesión de Abono" (free seat) allows members to give up their seats to the club if they cannot attend the match. Atletico Madrid puts them on sale and if somebody buys them 50% of the money he/she pays goes to Atletico and the other 50% to the member who frees up his/her seat.
If you buy tickets for pairs or groups of less than 6 people your providers will try to seat all of you together but this is not guaranteed as it depends on availability.
If you go to Atletico Madrid's stadium as a visiting fan you will have to sit in the area reserved for visiting fans.
Schedule: You can buy or pick up your tickets the day before the match from 11h to 14h and 17h to 20h or on the day of the game from 11 am onwards.
You can also use online platforms to buy Atletico Madrid tickets. It's very comfortable doing so but the comfort comes with an extra expense.
There are plenty of online ticket brokers/resellers that offer Atletico tickets for sale. They are the modern equivalent of the classic scalpers except they provide safe payment options and an easy experience.
SpainTicketsOnline is an official agent for Atletico Madrid tickets. Their focus is on home tickets, those for matches played on Vicente Calderon. You can use them to book tickets in advance in any area of the stadium you'd like to be seated in. They also sell match packages that include hotel accommodation and tickets.
International shipping is provided for a resonable fee. Ticket refunds are given in case the match is cancelled plus there's a 120% money back guarantee in case they fail to give you the tickets in due time.
SeatWave is an English online ticket broker, one of the better ones. They have a good depth in their ticket inventory, offering tickets for many less important matches as well. You can check their Atletico Madrid tickets here.
Viagogo is the biggest ticket broker in Europe and naturally they also have some Atletico tickets. You can check their Atletico Madrid inventory here.
That's about it. Thanks for reading and I hope you at least got some useful bits out of this. Make sure you contact us if you want to make any additions or corrections.

The stadium of RCD Mallorca, the Iberostar Estadi, holds over 23.000 spectators. 15.000 these seats are for club members and many of the other seats are put on sale for the general public (non-members).
Ticket prices for matches played by RCD Mallorca in the Iberostar Stadium vary depending on category. There are 5 different match categories with different prices: A, B and C. The highest prices are for games in which Mallorca face the best teams like FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. The matches classified as category B have a medium ticket price – not too high, not too low – while the matches listed as C are the cheapest.
Iberostar Estadi is divided into 5 different areas. Here they are, from the least to the most expensive: 'fondo' (goal), 'sol alta' (side stand-upper), 'sol baja' (side stand-lower), 'tribuna descubierta' (grandstand-uncovered) and 'tribuna cubierta' (grandstand-covered). Lower ticket rates are offered for children between 4 and 14.
The maximum number of tickets that can be purchased per person is unlimited. If you buy more than one ticket the club assures you that your seats will be next to each other are there usually are no problems with ticket availability.
If you go to Mallorca's stadium as a visiting fan you will have to sit in the area reserved for visiting fans.
Schedule: the ticket office is usually open during the two days before games from 10 AM to 2 PM and from 5 PM to 8/9 PM. Some days it is only open during the mornings.
Ticket purchases cannot be cancelled once reserved and paid for.
You can also get RCD Mallorca tickets online through ticket brokers/resellers/exchanges. It's much easier but a bit more expensive.

Buying tickets for Espanyol matches is not as complicated a task as for other football teams. However, it should be done ahead of time because there are not a lot of tickets on sale. If you are a member of RCD Espanyol you can buy up to two tickets per game with a 10% discount. The maximum number of tickets that can be purchased per person (member or non-member) is 10.
Ticket prices for matches played by Espanyol in the Cornellà-El Prat stadium vary depending on the rival. Matches are divided into 5 different categories. The highest price is for games where the opponent is Real Madrid (category AA). Then there are matches where the rival is FC Barcelona (A) and then the other teams: categories B, C and D. The lowest prices are for games listed as D. If you enter the club's website you will see prices for all matches (prices can be modified up to 5 weeks before the match and the exact time and date is not confirmed until around 10 days before the game).
The prices you get to see on Espanyol's official website are standard rates but there are also reduced rates for children and pensioners. In case of children under 5, they can enter the stadium for free but they will not have an individual seat.
The amount of tickets available to buy for every match is not very large but the new system of 'Seient Obert' (Open Seat) means that the amount of available seats is increasing: members who can not go to the stadium for a match give up their seat to the club who puts it on sale for that game.
If you buy tickets for pairs or groups of less than 10 people your providers will try to seat all of you together but this is not guaranteed as it depends on availability. If you go to Espanyol's stadium as a visiting fan you will have to sit in the area reserved for visiting fans.
• through the Internet, using the official Espanyol website. It sells tickets 24 hours a day. Tickets go on sale about a month and a half before the game.
• through Servicaixa's website or buying tickets in person at the terminals of La Caixa (only from Spain).
• through 'Oficines de Turisme' (in Catalonia). One of the 'Oficines de Turisme' is in Plaça Catalunya, right in the centre of Barcelona.
You can also buy Espanyol tickets through this office.
Location: 'Gol Prat', at the Cornellà-El Prat stadium, near the door of the offices of the stadium (Baix Llobregat Avenue, no. 100, Cornellà de Llobregat, Barcelona).
Schedule: You can buy or pick up your tickets only on the day of the match, from 10 AM. For special matches such as the Espanyol-Barcelona derby ticket sales are opened 3 days before the match.
One other method of purchasing Espanyol tickets is online through tricket brokers. It is an easier process but a tad more expensive.

Buying Real Madrid tickets is a tough affair. As is the case with most important clubs on this planet, seats for home games at the Santiago Bernabeu are first filled by season ticket holders, followed by club members and then followed by the holders of "Carnet Madridista", a fanclub card you must pay for similar to AC Milan's Cuore Rossonero card and lastly the remaining Real Madrid tickets go on general sale.
You can purchase the "Carnet Madridista" card through the club's official website. It costs 30 EUR per year and you get a couple of other nice things coming with it such as signed photos and the chance to enter into several competitions with valuable prizes.
As you could figure out yourself based on the above ticket allocation criteria, the tickets that go on general sales are few and usually for the less important home matches. The general sale of Real Madrid tickets occurs at the stadium a couple of days before kickoff time.
There's also a call center you can call to purchase tickets by phone using your credit/debit card. The call center's number is (+34) 902 324 324. If you get lucky and buy some tickets, you'll have to pick them up from Santiago Bernabeu's Gate 14 on matchday.
Real Madrid tickets are also officially available online through the club's website. All you have to do is follow this page. On the top right corner of the page there's a box containing the upcoming fixture and a signed "! Tickets Now Available". Click on that to order your Real Madrid tickets. You'll be redirected to ServiCaixa's site which is one of Real Madrid's official ticket vendors. You can buy a maximum of 6 Real Madrid tickets this way.
You can also buy Real Madrid tickets straight from the Santiago Bernabeu stadium from the ticket office #44. Tickets are available the day before kickoff from 15:00 to 20:30 Spanish time.
Real Madrid tickets are also sold through the branches of Spain's La Caixa bank.
Buying Real Madrid tickets online through ticket exchanges is easier, but a bit more expensive.
There are several specialized websites that sell Real Madrid tickets online. These websites have basically replaced offline scalpers, offering both a much more varied ticketing offer and a marketplace where ticket supply and demand meet in order to better price the underlying product, namely soccer tickets. They are also legitimate businesses with safe methods in place for online ordering.
They ship internationally at reasonable rates. Refunds are offered if matches get cancelled for any particular reason. They also offer a 120% refund in case they fail to deliver your tickets on time and you miss the match.
SeatWave is a UK company with a purpose similar to those already mentioned here: buying and selling soccer tickets. Their most important feature though is the fact that while WorldTicketShop is running out of stock quite fast and provide tickets usually only for the more important matches, SeatWave has plenty of stock, even a couple of days before the match and they also cover more obscure soccer matches and teams. Click here to check out their full stock of Real Madrid tickets.

According to the official site, the price of Barcelona tickets varies depending on the category of each match. Barcelona assigns each match with a category ranging from D to A+, depending on importance. The fixtures with their respective categories are listed each season on the official site. For example, FC Barcelona – Real Madrid tickets are A+ while FC Barcelona Numancia tickets are D.
As with most well-supported clubs, FC Barcelona members have priority over non-members when purchasing Barcelona tickets. Members can buy La Liga tickets from the start of the season with discounts of up to 25 EUR off the regular ticket price. The general public must settle for what is left over. Not only that, but Barcelona members get several distribution channels when purchasing European Barcelona tickets while non-member are reduced to only one distribution channel, the stadium's ticket offices. You can find full information on how to become a member here.
Barcelona tickets for home league matches for non-members, if any of them have remained, are sold one month prior to kickoff time on the Internet and 15 days before through the other distribution channels. Each person can buy a maximum of 6 Barcelona tickets for La Liga games. Champions League and Cup matches ticket sales conditions vary depending on season and match and will be announced on the official site.
As for ticket availability, FC Barcelona has a special scheme dedicated to season ticket holders named Seient Lliure whereby season ticket holders can free up Barcelona tickets for matches that they cannot attend and make them available to the general public. Thus there can be several occurrences where Barcelona tickets are unavailable at times and available at other times prior to a certain match.
If you purchase Barcelona tickets online you have the option of printing them yourself so you won't have to pick them up from some offline location or have them delivered to you by post and incur the related charges. If not, you can still collect them from the club's ticket offices, Servicaixa ATMs and the ticket terminals located on Camp Nou boulevard.

Of course we get Red Sox for the two colored parallels! A nice selection of teams for the refractors as well.
Personally, I love these die cut cards in Finest (and Bowman Platinum for that matter). They are crisp, great quality card stock and they just came out really well.
And finally, the two hits from the master box... I was really hoping for an auto/relic but alas, we got two on-card autos.
Turner ended up with the Marlins this year in the Infante/Sanchez deal, and I have no clue who this Pacheco kid is, hopefully for Cardhobbyist the next Gary Carter or Johnny Bench for the Rockies!
Thus wraps up another group break. No offense to those who got the Finest hits, but I personally feel the Finest box was a bit of a let down, but I think those who ended up with base and inserts will agree that it's a great looking base product.
Hope everyone enjoyed the break!
Thanks ! I'd love a mini box and a wrapper if possible. You could put my cards in the box to mail to me !
Bit of a let down. Typical Topps. One of the hits dudes should have gotten an auto-relic, indeed!

Exciting updates, and more to follow
posted Apr 6, 2016, 9:26 AM by Samveg Saxena [ updated Apr 6, 2016, 9:39 AM ]
After a long time of not updating this news section, there are many exciting updates to share:
V2G-Sim was a recipient of a 2015 R&D 100 Award. See here for more info about all of Berkeley Lab's 2015 R&D 100 awards.
The V2G-Sim team was successful in a large proposal in simulations for vehicle-grid integration to the U.S. Department of Energy.
A new study is underway to quantify the impact of vehicle-grid services on vehicle battery degradation. Stay tuned for upcoming publications.
A new study is underway to quantify that impact that plug-in vehicles can have to mitigate the challenges introduced for grid systems by large amounts of intermittent renewables generation, namely in mitigating sharp up-ramps, sharp down-ramps, valleys, and peaks in the load profiles. Stay tuned for upcoming publications.
The new DOE vehicle-grid integration project (#2 above) has the following central objectives:
Determining the feasibility of VGI by quantifying the potential value, cost, complexity, and risks in different VGI implementations
Allocating available value among stakeholders and determining pathways for electrification of transportation to enable beneficial grid services such as mitigating renewables intermittency
Within this project, the vehicle-grid simulations will be applied towards several targeted case studies to assess VGI feasility:
Quantifying the feasibility (i.e. cost, value, complexity, risk, etc.) for VGI with collections of vehicles offering many available grid services.
Determining how value is distributed amongst stakeholders, including drivers, aggregators, utility shareholders and ratepayers, etc.
Quantifying the ability for PEVs to mitigate the variability and costs of renewables intermittency at various temporal and spatial scales.
Quantifying the magnitude and costs from battery degradation for several VGI services.
Finally, the VGI simulation tools will be applied towards developing strategies to aggregate and control large collections of vehicles by:
Assess real-time scheduling and control strategies for dispatching capacity from aggregate collections of vehicles (e.g. EDF, LLF, model-predictive, etc.)
Development of virtual battery models for integrating capacity from aggregate collections of vehicles into ISO, RTO, and Utility operations
The project will last three years.
New V2G-Sim study demonstrates that EV charging loads can be reduced by over 75% during a demand response event without adversely affecting driver mobility needs
posted Mar 25, 2015, 3:57 AM by Samveg Saxena [ updated Mar 25, 2015, 3:57 AM ]
A new peer reviewed study published in the Society of Automotive Engineers 2015 World Congress quantifies the flexibility for electric vehicles (EVs) to respond to demand response (DR) events. Within this study, a smart charging controller was developed and integrated into V2G-Sim to explore the flexibility for EVs to respond to DR signals. The smart charging controller considers the individual mobility needs of each driver/vehicle to decide whether the vehicle can respond to demand response events.
Using the new controller algorithm, different DR events were simulated for a collection of over 3,000 vehicles to explore the magnitude of EV charging loads that could be reduced without adversely affecting the mobility needs of drivers. DR events were simulated to occur at a variety of different times during the day, and with duration spanning 1 hour, 2 hours, or 4 hours. It was found that EVs can reduce over 75% of their charging loads during a DR event without adversely affecting the mobility needs of any driver. Further, the study explored how the results may change if the travel itineraries for individual drivers were highly uncertainty. Even with substantial levels of uncertainty in travel needs, it was found that over 65% of EV charging loads could be removed during a DR event.
V2G-Sim to be applied in Berkeley Lab project to forecast the impact of PEVs on California's energy future
The California Energy Commission recently announced an award to Berkeley Lab for an analysis project that seeks to build a healthier and more robust future for California, by identifying low carbon energy scenarios for California through to the year 2050. V2G-Sim will be used alongside other simulation tools within the project. In particular, V2G-Sim will be applied to provide temporally and spatially resolved grid charging demand profiles from growing numbers of plug-in electric vehicles throughout California. The project was formulated as part of a proposal from Berkeley Lab in response to CEC PON-14-309.
V2G-Sim provides foundation for new vehicle-grid integration research award from California Energy Commission
The California Energy Commission recently announced an award to Berkeley Lab for a pilot project to demonstrate smart charging of plug-in electric vehicles at Alameda County's publicly accessible charging locations. The project, which was proposed in response to a proposal submitted for CEC PON-14-301, will leverage V2G-Sim to forecast the flexibility for vehicles to deliver smart charging services to building facilities and the grid without compromising the mobility needs of drivers.

V2G-Sim and MyGreenCar presentation at the BERC Energy Summit
posted Oct 28, 2014, 7:58 AM by Samveg Saxena [ updated Oct 28, 2014, 7:59 AM ]
V2G-Sim and MyGreenCar were the featured topics at a presentation by Dr. Samveg Saxena at the BERC Energy Summit on Thursday October 16. The presentation, entitled "Charging Ahead on Clean Transportation by Eliminating EV Range Anxiety and Predicting Personalized Fuel Economy" was attended by an audience of nearly 150 people including students, faculty, researchers, entrepreneurs, and energy enthusiasts. The presentation described how today's EVs meet the vast majority of the needs of US drivers, and how V2G-Sim and its end-use application (called MyGreenCar) can be used to eliminate EV range anxiety and provide personalized fuel economy estimates for any driver in any vehicle (analogous to a personalized fuel economy label).
New V2G-Sim case study demonstrates predictions of EV-Grid impacts
posted Aug 20, 2014, 10:40 AM by Samveg Saxena [ updated Aug 20, 2014, 12:13 PM ]
A new V2G-Sim case study demonstrates the ability of V2G-Sim to predict EV charging loads in a stochastic manner. The case study demonstrates how users can provide statistical inputs to V2G-Sim to describe how drivers use their cars to predict EV charging loads for any number of vehicles. In the case study, two scenarios are demonstrated for a collection of 1000 EVs. In the first case, grid loads are predicted for a case where vehicles charge predominantly in the evenings. In the second case, grid loads are predicted when charging is allowed during the day and evening.
All results are resolved on a second-by-second basis enabling users to see the up and down spikes in grid loads that arise from individual vehicles plugging in and unplugging. With this statistical inputs approach,
V2G-Sim predicts both the most likely charging load, but also provides an uncertainty estimate on grid loads arising from individual drivers taking unexpected trips, or taking longer time to complete an individual trip. In order for users to calibrate input statistics for a given region or fleet, automated methods have been built into V2G-Sim to derive input statistics from a deterministic data source. For instance, a user can derive the input statistics from the San Francisco Bay Area segment of the National Household Travel Survey and then conduct scenario analysis on grid impacts by systematically changing input statistics between each V2G-Sim run.
New V2G-Sim case study demonstrates the spatial resolution capabilities of V2G-Sim
posted Aug 17, 2014, 2:33 PM by Samveg Saxena [ updated Aug 17, 2014, 2:43 PM ]
A new case study has been added which demonstrates how V2G-Sim can be used to spatially resolve how PEVs will interact with the electricity grid. V2G-Sim models vehicle-grid interactions on a second-by-second timescale at the individual vehicle level. With information on where each vehicle is located, vehicle-grid interactions can be spatially resolved at any scale. The case study illustrates two cases, one where vehicle charging is resolved by location type within a given area, and another where vehicle charging is resolved state by state on the national level. With this methodology, V2G-Sim can also enable spatial resolution on the distribution system scale, for example to resolve how EV charging loads will impact individual transformers within a utility company's service territory.
New V2G-Sim case study quantifies the useful life of EV batteries
Vehicle batteries are known to lose capacity with time and cycling, and prior research has commonly assumed that EV batteries will provide useful life within EVs down to 70-80% remaining energy storage capacity. Around this level of remaining capacity, it is assumed that EV batteries must be retired because they will no longer meet the range and mobility needs of drivers. Many studies have proposed that after retirement from their vehicle lifetime, vehicle batteries can enter a second life where they serve as stationary energy storage for the electricity grid.
A new V2G-Sim case study quantitatively examines the assumption of having to retire EV batteries from vehicles once they reach 70-80% remaining capacity. Driving patterns from drivers across the United States are simulated in V2G-Sim within vehicles that have experienced different levels of battery degradation. Battery SOC profiles from these simulated vehicles are examined to identify if drivers run out of charge during their trips, and to determine how much range drivers would have if they needed to make an unexpected trip.
The results from this case study show that EV batteries continue to meet the needs of a vast majority of drivers well beyond degradation levels of 70-80% remaining capacity. These results suggest that battery degradation may be an over-emphasized concern in terms of meeting the mobility needs of drivers. EV batteries may well continue to serve the needs of drivers for at least as long as the lifetime of the entire vehicle. These results also challenge the assumptions of a majority of battery second life economic analysis literature because it is shown that batteries entering their second life for grid storage may have much less than 70-80% remaining capacity.

Subject: PianoStaff and StaffGroup brackets are truncating single line	DrumStaff at top left of staff system.
I want to create a StaffGroup that includes a single line Staff or DrumStaff at the top. I am having the problem that the left most measure bar line and the brackets of each staff system are being truncated down to the staff line of the single staff.
I have tried a workaround by making a second staff line and then hiding it using some code from a snippet. This causes the bar line and the bracket to extend the same as the other measures, but then measure repeat dots are not being centered around the single visible line, but are rather being centered between the visible line and the hidden line.
Is there a way to override this behavior with a single line staff at the top of a PianoStaff or StaffGroup - to get the leftmost bar line to be the same as normal bar lines, and to get the brackets to extend to the end of the leftmost bar line?
Thank you for any thoughts or ideas, and thank you for this wonderful software!
\new StaffGroup %leftmost measure bar and group (or piano) bracket are being truncated down to the drum staff's single line.
\override BarLine.bar-extent = #' (0 . 2.5)} %would like leftmost measure bar line and bracket to extend the same as second bar.

The prior generation that had left Israel had by this time all died off. In the desert, they had not circumcised their sons. In response to this, God commanded Joshua to have them make flint knives and circumcise their sons. Circumcision was the sign of the covenant made between Abraham and God. God promised to make Abraham the father of many nations and that they would inherit the land of Canaan (Genesis 17, Exodus 3:17). The generation that died in the desert had faltered in their faith in the desert, and because of this, they were not allowed to enter the Promised Land (Numbers 14:32-34, Numbers 26:64-65). After they were finished with the circumcision, they ate food from the land, and the manna that God had been providing stopped (Exodus 16). God had provided the manna to the obstinate generation, but the new generation was the one who would inherit the land of Canaan and would eat of its produce.
The renewal of the sign of the covenant and the cessation of manna both point to a key transition in the history of Israel. The generation that had left Egypt had passed away, and God renewed his fervor with the new generation of Joshua, who had committed themselves to God. Manna was a blessing from God, but it ceased because the promise was being revealed. Jesus points out that manna, although was from God, still was not enough to grant them life, as the generation that left Egypt had died even though they ate manna. Jesus calls himself the "bread of life", a metaphor speaking about the means to eternal life, saying that he who eats this bread will never die (John 6:49). Likewise, the sign of the covenant, circumcision, was just a sign. Paul points out that the reality of the matter is that circumcision is an outward maker of something more spiritually significant, and all those who have faith are the ones who are heirs to the promise (Romans 4) and that it was really not a matter of circumcision of uncircumcision, rather a matter of obedience (1 Corinthians 7:9). Paul quotes in Romans 4:17 from Genesis 17:4: God would make Abraham the father of many nations. The ultimate manifestation of this is revealed in Revelation 7:9 when there is a multitude from every tribe, tongue and nation worshipping before God.
Be obstinate like the generation in the desert and let the blessings pass to a future generation who is willing to obey God.
Submit to God and obey him. These are the ones who get to see God work mightily in their generation toward the achievement of the grand vision of a person from every tribe, tongue, and nation worshipping before God!
God wants his people to choose to submit and obey.
Lord, I want to be a part of your mission! Help me to obey you in all I do!
